CBC's Ontario Today, airing at noon on CBC Radio in this province, is about CNE memories and you may hear little 'ol me. Someone please record it as I'll be talking to Sophie B. Hawkins for Toronto Mike'd.

Never apologize for that! I know I haven't had him on because I had to Google him.
I'm digging @larryfedoruk.bsky.social's podcast about The Monkees. In the mid-80s, Boomers jammed The Monkees down our throats & we gobbled it up like candy corn. One summer, I watched an episode every day on MuchMusic. Larry tells me they only made 58. #mindblow podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I had this ep in my calendar for months, but Stark Naked and the Fleshtones have decided not to visit in 2025. IMHO, the best Toronto Mike'd episodes are when a guest or guest don't have anything specific to promote. I just wanted to tell the listenership about Stark Naked and the Fleshtones.
